January 25 and the coming days are the peak days for people from Ho Chi Minh City to return to their hometowns in the central provinces to celebrate Tet. Most people traveling by car will choose to take the expressway instead of National Highway 1 as before.
When driving on the highway, the issue of rest stops and gas stations is a matter of great concern for drivers. Near the Lunar New Year, many temporary rest stops are put into operation to meet the needs of people.
If you take the highway from Ho Chi Minh City to Nha Trang, there will be 1 full rest stop and temporary rest stops.
First is the Ho Chi Minh City - Long Thanh - Dau Giay highway rest stop, about 42 km from Ho Chi Minh City, located right at the intersection to Dau Giay - Phan Thiet highway.
This station has been invested in and built quite completely including parking lot, toilets, dining areas,... and gas station.
At Km 47+500 of Phan Thiet - Dau Giay Expressway, the border location of Dong Nai and Binh Thuan provinces, there is a temporary rest stop that will be put into operation from January 20, 2025.
From noon on January 24, the temporary rest stop at Km205 of Vinh Hao - Phan Thiet highway through Ham Tri commune, Ham Thuan Bac district, Binh Thuan province was also put into operation.
Facilities such as parking lots, restrooms, and dining areas are in operation. However, there is no gas station here, so drivers need to pay attention to fuel for their vehicles.
On the Cam Lam - Vinh Hao highway, at Km113 through Thuan Bac district, Ninh Thuan province, people can stop at a temporary rest stop to rest.
Currently, on the highway from Ho Chi Minh City to Nha Trang, there are many rest stops, basically meeting the resting needs of drivers.
